You said the words you thought I wanted to hear,
and Dansed Macabre but somehow insincere.
Saint-Saëns,
your words are bored and tame.
Now you beseech to practice practical views,
as though convention could be radical too,
but no.
Those two are not the same.
Enthusiastically Malthusian!
The only thing I feel is terror, and holy dread!
Ten dollar words when a nickel would do-
You think that makes me want to boogie with you?
Well no.
We two are not the same.
This KGB comprised of condo-crats
compiling complimentary kompromat.
Oh no.
I guess we’re all to blame.
Enthusiastically Malthusian!
The only thing I feel is terror!
This physical culture’s cultural feat
is: find it in the streets and the sheets.
When times are tough, and words are minimal,
and leering glances decidedly criminal.
Feel the space between the measures.
Desperate times call for desperate pleasures!
